Answer:

Short answer: Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vietnam War saw to the US's superior industrial, population, and military superiority, as well as the extensive usage of tactics and military industrial advantages. In fact, the Vietcong, even with the then USSR and Communist China's backing, was slowly losing grip and was losing at that point. However, the anti-war viewpoint became increasingly popular, as the reason for the US to join was inadequate at best, and the views of fighting another countries battle and seeing their own young men come home wrapped in the American flag' was unbearable to the US general public, therefore support was withdrawn. If the US continued to push after the Tet Offensive, then the US would have been able to claim the Vietnam War as a victory, rather than a strategic withdrawal, which led to the eventual demise of South Vietnam.
